Join Danny Marang and Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports to take a look at the upcoming NBA Draft - who should the Blazers take? After the Charlotte Hornets pick at #2 - who should the Blazers pick? Scoot Henderson? Just how good of a prospect is he? Would Brandon Miller be able to impact winning right away?

Could the Blazers zig at #3 if Henderson isn't available and look at Amen Thompson? What could the Blazers look to do at picks #23 and #43? Are there any high upside swings the Blazers should be on the look out for?

On the latest episode of Jacked Ramsays, host Danny Marang sat down with Portland Trail Blazers General Manager Joe Cronin to discuss a host of questions and issues.

What did Cronin learn about players who can and can’t play with Damian Lillard (1:00)

Are you comfortable going forward with the Dame (Lillard) and Ant (Simons) backcourt pairing? (3:00)

How do you get a more veteran laden team when so much of your roster is so young? (5:00)

Is ownership comfortable paying the luxury tax for a team that can compete? (7:20)

Has there been any movement on a potential G-League team for the Trail Blazers? (8:10)

Have the Sacramento Kings set a kind of framework for competitiveness level to follow? (9:20)

Is there one thing that’s front of mind - the one functional thing that you want to improve most with this roster? (12:40)

How confident are you that you can put a top-4/5 seed in the West next year? (13:50)

What are/were the pros and cons you’ve noticed taking the job via promotion within the team vs coming in fresh to the team entirely? (14:40)

Have you decided who you’re sending to the Draft Lottery as the team representative? (16:45)

Join host Danny Marang with special guest from the Portland Trail Blazers, Trendon Watford!

Together they discuss where Watford is from, his young basketball life where he was a McDonald’s All American and 3-time state champion out of Birmingham, Alabama.

Then it’s onto his path to the NBA as an undrafted player out of LSU - what draft night was like and how he almost wasn’t a member of the Portland Trail Blazers. Watford signs a two-way deal with the Blazers and sets out to prove that he belongs - what was the moment like when he DID find out he belongs and got his two-way contract converted into a full NBA deal?

They wrap with how his game has developed as a big, from working in dribble hand offs, what players he watches film on and looks to borrow from, the evolution of his floater, developing a 3 point shot and what it was like being a part of NBA history as Lillard went off for 71 points.
